What is an MBA waitlist and why are you on it?
A waitlist is basically a list of people who may be accepted to a certain MBA program if there are enough openings. Business schools put candidates on a waitlist because they want to ensure that they enroll enough students to make the program viable, but they may not have enough openings to accept everyone who applies.
Waitlisted candidates usually have good grades and test scores, but they may not have been quite as competitive as those who were accepted outright.
If you’re waitlisted, it’s important to stay in touch with the admissions committee and let them know that you’re still interested in attending the program. You may also want to send additional information, such as updated test scores or new letters of recommendation.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."
"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."
"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
